Mps are preparing for a showdown when they return next week after the Prime Ministers plans to suspend parliament for five weeks in the run up to brexit caused uproar. The formerjustice secretary david gauke warned that it may be their only opportunity to have a say before the uk potentially leaves the European Union without a deal. The government accused mps of trying to overturn brexit. Heres our Political Editor laura kuenssberg. Tempers hot, nervous parade. A member of the government and tory mp in cheltenham defending himself to protesters, but not entirely the governments approach. protesters, but not entirely the governments approach. I have made my position clear, ive spoken to the chief whip about it. Time is short but within days, swathes of mps will try to remove the possibility that Boris Johnson could ta ke possibility that Boris Johnson could take us out of the eu without a deal. With even Senior Tories on site, they will try to change the law. It may well be that next week is the only opportunity. Im afraid it does look as if our options have now narrowed, and if parliament is going to assert some control, and say, ok, if we leave with no deal, but that has to happen with the consent of parliament, then that would suggest that we need to move sooner would suggest that we need to move sooner rather than later. Is this the moment when polite resistance will become more aggressive action . Well, i hope it will continue to be polite, but i also think it is going to need to be robust. Those who fear the possible turmoil of leaving without a deal seem more determined now, after the Prime Minister caused this kind of outrage by cutting the number of days in the commons mps have to scrutinise whats going on. The official line . Totally routine for parliament to have a breather, to be prorogued, for that amount of time. There is going to be lots of time. There is going to be lots of time to debate before 31st october, parliament will be sitting then and will be able to have whatever motions it wants. I think the outrage is phony. 1p in the government quit in protest, and maybe the defence secretary gave the game away. He certainly learned that even at a summit in finland, there are microphones everywhere. When you prorogued the parliament. It can be even longer, it depends if youve finished. Clearly, more than it is . Those remarks got a less friendly welcome from no 10, who said later he misspoke. To clip borisjohnsons wings, to outlaw no deal, the snp and others need to Work Together with Jeremy Corbyn and others need to Work Together withJeremy Corbyn to get the numbers for a majority next week. What we are going to do is to try to politically stop him on tuesday with parliamentary process, in order to legislate to prevent a no deal brexit, and also to try and prevent him shutting down parliament during this utterly crucial period. The imprecations for this country are very, very serious. So, just weeks into office, the new Prime Minister is up against protests around the country, and many mps in parliament are determined to try and defeat him next week. When they come to vote, the numbers might be achingly tight. But when it comes to brexit, as ever, the difference of opinion is fast indeed. Laura is in westminster now and we can talk to her. Mps go back on tuesday, give a sense of the showdown ahead, it is going to be a big moment . It absolutely is, and remember why this is so fraught. You might be able to hear protesters behind me. A lot of people are so hot under the collar and the big picture, borisjohnson hot under the collar and the big picture, Boris Johnson once hot under the collar and the big picture, borisjohnson once the option of being able to take us out of the eu whether or not there is a deal in place. Huge numbers of mps are implacably opposed to that because they think it might cause havoc. So, as soon as they are back in parliament next week, they will be doing everything they can to try to put a legal block on the possibility of that ever happening. Either by trying to get Boris Johnson to be forced to delay brexit if he is unable to conclude a deal, or to make sure that they had an additional vote, that they would be asked to authorise such a move if he was to try to do it. One senior mp who has been very involved in talks about how to do this over recent weeks joked to about how to do this over recent weeksjoked to me about how to do this over recent weeks joked to me that parliament is opening out to. 30 on tuesday, he will be there at 2. 31, trying to get this plan moving. And if they are successful, next week, there could be an emergency debate on tuesday, votes on wednesday, votes in the house of lords on thursday, and maybe them being able to change the law within seven days. But its a very, very tight timetable and there are many mps who think that the numbers will be extremely tight. This is sensitive, this is controversial, and its really a battle of the mandates. Boris johnson, who believes he will do, and ought to do, everything he can to uphold the referendum result from 2016. And mps on the other side who think that the potential chaos of leaving without a deal is worth fighting every step of the way for and you know, not even two months into office, Boris Johnson and you know, not even two months into office, borisjohnson is facing a historic showdown, and nobody can call the likely outcome right now. Laura kuenssberg, thank you. Ruth davidson has resigned as leader of the scottish conservatives, urging borisjohnson to strike a Brexit Agreement with the eu before the end of october. Shes been a vocal critic of the Prime Ministers approach to brexit but she said her decision to step down was primarily for personal reasons after she became a mother last year. Theres some flash photography in this report from our scotland editor, sarah smith. Anyone who had come to hear Ruth Davidson denounce borisjohnson and his brexit policy was in the wrong place today. She admits they dont entirely agree. But she believes he is trying to avoid a no deal exit. |j stared him right in the eye, i asked him outright, i need to know, are you actually trying to get a deal or not . And he categorically assured me that he was. I know that what would help further would be for people who wa nt to help further would be for people who want to avoid a no deal to come out and say that if a deal is brought back to parliament, that they would back to parliament, that they would back it, in the way that they have failed to do three times already. Let the eu know you will pass a new deal, she urged like minded mps, while explaining the genuine personal reasons why as a new mum, she is stepping down. Personal reasons why as a new mum, she is stepping downlj personal reasons why as a new mum, she is stepping down. I have to be honest, where the idea of getting on the roads to fight two elections in 20 months would once have fired me up, the threat of spending hundreds of hours away from my home and family now fills me with dread. And thatis family now fills me with dread. And that is no way to lead. Ruth davidson played a large part in helping to elect 13 scottish tory mps at the last election, up from just one, in keeping the conservatives in power. In the current political turmoil there is a chance the conservatives might soon find themselves trying to defend newly won seats like berwickshire and selkirk without their greatest electoral asset at the helm. They might even have to fight an election before theyve chosen a new leader. She has given us a very good platform, but i am not lacking in ambition for the scottish conservative party, i believe there is more to do, more mps that we can elect to. His constituents say they will miss her. I thought she did a lot for the conservatives because they had nothing here at all. Her motives for stepping down, still a topic of debate. I think that she was going to stand down anyway because of her commitment with the baby and so on. I dont think she gets on with boris, i dont think she agrees with him, but who does . Whether or not they get on, the Prime Minister will be wondering if he has lost an electoral asset or got rid of a thorn in his side. Sarah smith, bbc news, melrose. The decision to suspend parliament has prompted thousands of questions from viewers and listeners across bbc news. Heres a flavour of some of them. Why has parliament been suspended and is it routine . Can mps do anything about the suspension of parliament . Can the suspension of parliament . Can the suspension of parliament to be stopped by the courts . Will there be a no confidence vote in the government and what happens then . Could the suspension of Parliament Mean that a general election is more likely . Lots of questions, and eastern has been trying to come up with some a nswe is. Been trying to come up with some answers. The tourists may not realise it, but in a 16119, answers. The tourists may not realise it, but in a 1619, right here, charles i was beheaded, a court had found the king guilty of treason, bringing a gruesome conclusion to a showdown between ruler and parliament. The stakes are not quite so high today, perhaps, but once again the courts are being asked to side with parliamentarians ina asked to side with parliamentarians in a dispute with the government. At the high court in london, twojudges are preparing to rule on whether the government is unlawfully avoiding parliamentary sovereignty on an issue of constitutional importance. Thejudicial review will issue of constitutional importance. The judicial review will focus on the legality of asking the queen to shutdown parliament, so restricting mps opportunity to debate brexit. One former Supreme Court justice, though, says the argument is far from straightforward. There is no doubt that parliament can be prorogued, in law. There is no doubt that political reasons, when ministers control of the prerogative of the crown, they naturally do so for political reasons. What is a good political reason, what is a bad political reason . The politicians are going to have to sort this out. Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, a separate court case has begun, arguing the suspension of parliament breaches the good friday agreement. And at the court of session in edinburgh today, a judge was asked to stop a westminster shutdown with a lawyer representing 75 parliamentarians, arguing it was unconstitutional. We do not live in an absolutist estate. We do not live ina an absolutist estate. We do not live in a totalitarian state. We live in a state which is limited by the rule of law. All kinds of tactics and manoeuvres are being considered as the clock ticks down to britains exit from the eu. Downing street is reported to have wargame to ideas such as creating new Bank Holidays to limit pa rliaments such as creating new Bank Holidays to limit parliaments chances of preventing brexit on 31st october. Meanwhile, anti no dealers are set to ask the speaker of the house of commons to intervene. When he returns to his grand offices beneath elizabeth tower, john bercow will be urged to allow an emergency debate which would end in a substantive, binding vote, tearing up precedent. Without a written constitution, the relationship between parliament and government is shaped by convention and precedent, which can be traced back to the english civil war and beyond. Just as downing street may beyond. Just as downing street may be looking to exploit legal loopholes to get their business done, so, government opponents in parliament will be trying to do the same. Unwritten rules offer opportunity for both sides. Mark easton, bbc news, westminster. The rest of the news now. A teenager has admitted murdering 17 year old ellie gould, who was stabbed to death at her home in calne in wiltshire in may. Thomas griffiths, who is also 17, pleaded guilty at Bristol Crown court. The judge lifted reporting restrictions to allow him to be named. Jon kay reports. Pictured at her prom, 17 year old ellie gould. The a level student loved animals and wanted to be a police officer.

Today, thomas griffiths, who is also 17 and thought to have been at school with ellie, pleaded guilty to her murder. He is from the nearby village of derry hill. Until now, griffiths couldnt be named by the media because hes under the age of 18. But today, thejudge here said he was lifting reporting restrictions because of the extremely grave nature of this crime. The families of the two teenagers sat just yards apart from one another in court. They left separately, without making any public comment. In a statement, Wiltshire Police said ellies family should have been enjoying the Summer Holidays with her now. But instead they are coming to terms with the fact that she has been cruelly taken away from them in unthinkable circumstances.

Wales women have begun their qualifying campaign for the European Championship in 2021 against the Faroe Islands theyre looking to make their first ever majorfinals. Councils in england are warning they will have to start ending contracts which provide vital care for older and disabled people within weeks, unless they get more certainty over how much money they will get from government next year. Nearly 2. 5 billion pounds worth of short term grants are due to end next year and local authorities dont know if they will be replaced. Figures released by the organisation representing county councils show on average they represent more than a third of the Money Councils get from central government.

Alison holt, bbc news. The number of migrants trying to reach the uk across the channel by boat is growing fast more than 200 have been intercepted in the past week alone. This afternoon the home secretary, priti patel, held talks with her french counterpart in paris to discuss the crisis. More than 1,000 people have made the journey by boat so far this year. But many more are still reaching the uk through ports. Our europe correspondent gavin lee joins me now from gravelines, on the north coast of france. There have been large groups of migrants, sophie, 20 years ebbing and flowing in numbers moving from site to site and three years ago the british and french authorities thought they may have provided a solution by closing the jungle camp. There were 10,000 there, but the numbers continue to grow, up to 3000 migrants between calais and dunkirk and its villages like gravelines where it is also small motor boats, some smuggled, some stolen, where migrants are turning their attention. We have been here, looking at what they are doing. Welcome to gravelines a pictu re postca rd french coastal town by day, its harbour is now a magnet for migrants at night. Jean pierre shows me where his £7,000 motorboat was moored. All thats left is a severed rope. He says his boat was stolen and discovered in british waters with eight migrants on board. The vessel is still in the hands of uk authorities. Translation we are not rich people. We cant afford to buy a new boat every month because migrants are stealing them. It is sad for those people, but what about us . So im telling you, i wont let it happen again. I will defend myself the best i can. I wont let my boat be stolen again. A Community Night patrol has been set up by the boat owners, who say they live in fear of the migrants, who are searching the area each night. The vessels are all now chained in place. Some are alarmed. Alarm goes 0ff. This man offers to show me what its like attempting to cross the channel. Here in the middle of the channel, you already get a sense of how strong the current is and its relatively calm today. And you can see why this is called one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world with the freight traffic going across, the ferries from dover to calais. Now, the migrants are taking smaller boats than this to make the journey and the boat owners here say that its far too dangerous and lives are massively at risk. Its lorries, though, thats still the favourite option for those trying to stow away without money. Outside a disused gym in dunkirk, more than 1,000 people bide their time between attempts. Some here tell us theyve paid smugglers around £3,000 to organise a boat crossing. Ayearago, migrants illegally crossing by boat seemed a rare occurrence. Now its happening here every week. Gavin lee, bbc news, gravelines. What more can the authorities on both sides of the channel do to deal with this . The home secretary, priti patel, is still meeting with her french counterpart in the interior ministry and in the next hour we should have a sense of what they have come up with. A few days ago priti patel told her Home Office Staff they have 72 hours up until this meeting to come up with a solution. We are waiting to find out, on top of drones and night Surveillance Systems as well. Going back tojuly Surveillance Systems as well. Going back to july this year when Surveillance Systems as well. Going back tojuly this year when sajid javid was home secretary, he described this as a Major Incident for the described this as a Major Incident forthe uk, described this as a Major Incident for the uk, while those numbers have risen. We are talking every single day boats are making it a cross, laurie attempts too, and we will see what they come up with this time. Gavin, thank you. People who took out payment protection insurance, or ppi, on loans and credit cards have just a few hours left to put in a claim for compensation. Banks have already paid out billions of pounds.

Customers have until one minute to midnight to make a claim as one the uks biggest financial scandals draws to a close. Bury Football Club say theyre astonished and dismayed that the English Football League wont reconsider its decision to expel the team, despite a late £7 million bid to buy the club. Bury claim the league knew about the bid before tuesdays deadline for them to be saved. Our Sports Editor dan roan reports. Kicked out of the league, this is the only football being played now at gigg lane. A show of sympathy from across the game for a club that has gone after 134 years of history. For many, bury was a passion. For others, a livelihood. It has been devastating. Having to tell young players, we have got 140 children, and they are children, they are minors, that we havent got a club any more. To tell them is heartbreaking. The implications could be massive in terms of their mental health. What we have done as an academy, we have given support to all the parents, staff and players. Tonight bury said they were utterly devastated the Football League had refused to go back on its decision to expel the club, despite the emergence of a credible new bidder before tuesdays deadline. My anger today is their refusal to revisit the decision. We certainly want an investigation into the way our club has been treated. We wantjustice and accountability in terms of how did we get here. And why is it that nobody has stepped in earlier to help save the club . Bury must now apply to the fa for a place in Non League Football from next season. But their expulsion and boltons narrow escape from the same fate, has highlighted a wider concern about the state of club finances. Outside the unprecedented wealth of the premier league, most clubs made losses last season. In the football heartland of the north west, as well as bolton and bury, old ham, macclesfield and morecambe have struggled to pay wages and bills. Further afield, notts county, ipswich, southend and oxford have all had to fight winding up orders. Meanwhile derby, aston villa and Sheffield Wednesday sold their stadia to generate cash. On circumstantial evidence where clubs cannot pay players, and you hear of that it seems to be on a regular basis, more than i have experienced in my career. You have to say, there are probably other clubs out there that will face Financial Difficulties through this season. Burys plight has become a symbol of a wider malaise in the sport. The fear that, without reforms, the pain here may soon be felt elsewhere. Time for a look at the weather. Heres louise lear. Behind me, a typical late summer scene, but blue sky and sunshine across much of central and southern england today with lead and looking skies further north and west. Outbreaks of rain into scotland and it looks like that will be persistent through friday into saturday. Heavy rain through western scotla nd saturday. Heavy rain through western scotland and Northern Ireland, gradually moving into north west england and north wales. Further south, we keep the sunshine and the warmth, 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit, a little bit cooler further north and west. That weather front will sit there through friday night and into saturday, a relentless band of rain feeding into Northern Ireland and scotland. Weather warnings have been issued, we will see at least three inches of rainfall and it has been pretty wet month so that could have some knock back. That rain will continue to sit there through the day on saturday, gradually pushing into north west england, wales and south west england. The best of the sunshine for the start of the weekend across east midlands and the south east corner where temperatures will peak at 25 degrees. Cooler and fresher in the north west and that isa sign fresher in the north west and that is a sign of whats to come for the second half of the weekend because that frontal system sweeps south east, allowing the wind direction to change more to a north westerly, and a fresher field to arrive. Sunny spells and scattered showers, particularly the further north and west you are with dry weather in the south east but a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather. Top temperatures in the middle of the afternoon are likely to be 15 to 21 degrees and that will be the 1st of september, the start of meteorological autumn. Louise, thank you.
